Class: QgsLayoutItemShape

class qgis.core.QgsLayoutItemShape(layout: QgsLayout)

Bases: QgsLayoutItem

Constructor for QgsLayoutItemShape, with the specified parent layout.

Layout item for basic filled shapes (e.g. rectangles, ellipses).

New in version 3.0.

Parameters

layout –

Ellipse = 0
Rectangle = 1
class Shape

Bases: int

Triangle = 2
accept(self, visitor: QgsStyleEntityVisitorInterface) → bool
Parameters

visitor (QgsStyleEntityVisitorInterface) –

Return type

bool

adjustPointForReferencePosition(self, point: Union[QPointF, QPoint], size: QSizeF, reference: QgsLayoutItem.ReferencePoint) → QPointF

Adjusts the specified point at which a reference position of the item sits and returns the top left corner of the item, if reference point were placed at the specified position.

applyDataDefinedSize(self, size: QgsLayoutSize) → QgsLayoutSize

Applies any present data defined size overrides to the specified layout size.

applyItemSizeConstraint(self, targetSize: QSizeF) → QSizeF

Applies any item-specific size constraint handling to a given targetSize in layout units. Subclasses can override this method if they need to apply advanced logic regarding item sizes, which cannot be covered by setFixedSize() or setMinimumSize(). Item size constraints are applied after fixed, minimum and data defined size constraints.

prepareGeometryChange(self)
readObjectPropertiesFromElement(self, parentElement: QDomElement, document: QDomDocument, context: QgsReadWriteContext) → bool

Sets object properties from a DOM element

Parameters

  • parentElement – is the parent DOM element for the object

  • document – DOM document

  • context – read write context

Returns

True if read was successful

writeObjectPropertiesToElement()

readPropertiesFromElement(self, element: QDomElement, document: QDomDocument, context: QgsReadWriteContext) → bool
Parameters
Return type

bool

receivers(self, PYQT_SIGNAL) → int
refreshBackgroundColor(self, updateItem: bool = True)

Refresh item’s background color, considering data defined colors. If updateItem is set to False, the item will not be automatically updated after the frame color is set and a later call to update() must be made.

refreshBlendMode(self)

Refresh item’s blend mode, considering data defined blend mode.

refreshFrame(self, updateItem: bool = True)

Refresh item’s frame, considering data defined colors and frame size. If updateItem is set to False, the item will not be automatically updated after the frame is set and a later call to update() must be made.

refreshItemPosition(self)

Refreshes an item’s position by rechecking it against any possible overrides such as data defined positioning.

See also

refreshItemSize()

refreshItemRotation(self, origin: Union[QPointF, QPoint] = None)

Refreshes an item’s rotation by rechecking it against any possible overrides such as data defined rotation.

The optional origin point specifies the origin (in item coordinates) around which the rotation should be applied.

refreshItemSize(self)

Refreshes an item’s size by rechecking it against any possible item fixed or minimum sizes.

refreshItemPosition()

refreshOpacity(self, updateItem: bool = True)

Refresh item’s opacity, considering data defined opacity. If updateItem is set to False the item will not be automatically updated after the opacity is set and a later call to update() must be made.

sceneEvent(self, QEvent) → bool

senderSignalIndex(self) → int
setCornerRadius(self, radius: QgsLayoutMeasurement)

Sets the corner radius for rounded rectangle corners.
